Fed up of stereotyping!!!

Rota are a good wheel lads, I know they " copied " the slipstreams, but they do some very nice originals.

5.4 is hardly a "fast" 0 - 60, its respectable enough. With a set of good quality drag tyres, a good launch and decent shifts, no NOS or Turbo needed. Results below, 1.8 integra doing a measured 0 - 60 in 5.05secs .

An ITR wouldn't hit 60 in 5.4 seconds, not stock anyway!

As standard they're 197, then on our feul it drops, then over the ten or so years its been driven it drops a bit more.

The dude in AI said the highest you can push em and keeping it N/A is about 200. The guy in Urban said the same.

I doubt mine will ever see anywhere near 200!!!

im a 20 year old chick, and i drive a red golf with tinted windows, the alloys, the lexus lights and the usual ****... and the police always follow me slowly and pull me in... and i got my car taken off me last night and made to walk home in the middle of the night with no coat or anything jst becoz a cow of a ban garda saw me a mile away, followed me, didnt like what she saw.. and spotted that my tax was out by 2 months, so took me all the way down so unfair.. had i been in a car that wasnt blacked out she wouldnt have even looked twice..

Your fault you didn't pay the tax for two months?

Did you really expect the guard to say "yeah go on home, it's illegal to drive without tax but go on home?"


/high horse

In my OWN opinion, if a car has the usual lexus lights and tinted windows, most guards will stop you yeah, but it doesn't depend on their mood?

little-coconut

ive been stopped before, i was just saying that i doubt they would have taken the car had i been a granny in a nissan ! ! 2 months tax like, they should have had a bit more grace, it was cruel in fairness

Most guards would allow a weeks grace, 2 weeks most?

2 months though? Come on like?

I know everybody has their reasons, but something like that isn't too hard to fix?

little-coconut

haha, my boyfriend got caught without tax for 7 months, and the guard just said produce it back taxed and taxed in 10 days.. he was lucky, i wasnt.. thats all. yeah i know, i should have had it taxed, i am my own worst enemy

Bu still, he payed 7 months back tax? So ultimately he payed for it :P

And....yup :rolleyes:

Rev. BlueJeans

After the buck getting done for seven months tax, you should have been more careful.

The cheek of that "cow" of a garda for doing her job :rolleyes:

little-coconut

boo-urns!!

little-coconut

Yeah in a perfect world it would have been taxed and all BUT Its a bit harsh making a girl walk all the way home by herself at night with the weather weve been having!!!

i cant upload pics on this, you would have you go to the trouble of adding me on bebo and id say thats too much trouble!

colm_mcm

I'd say they're these yokes

Midnight_EG

I clicked Add too quick, then I noticed you have Wolfraces D=


:P

Rev. BlueJeans

Not on bebo, me giddynurse.

Anyway, I'd say the lights were probably fine, because I'd be nearly certain she'd have made an issue of them if they weren't.

That said, some of those modded tail lights are pure sh1te, totally the wrong colour, with white brake lights and red indicators in some cases.

Somethin about those wheels i just dont like... some Wolfrace look well... those im not a fan! And cant see your back lights without adding ya so accept so we can judge!!

Midnight_EG

Way ahead of ya's :P

little-coconut

yeah i have seen some sick lookin lights on golfs i must say, it can ruin the whole get up! hehe yeah i am a cranky aul bag i just miss my baby! (car haha!!) for all that the sh1theap she is!

little-coconut

oh my god i am so embarrassed how did you get that pic of me up? i am blushing haha yeah thats a fake badge on her there, its gone now and i have tints now

The-Game

ALright in fairness theyre not the worst, some of those lexus light jobs look sh1te, yours actually match well cause of the red car and all

Your windows dont look tinted though!!

Midnight_EG

Sorry, I assumed you wouldn't mind letting me show everyone else the car seeing as you linked your bebo?

Shall remove if you want?

Ohhh you got tints after you done your best car model posing for bebo haha!!

Rev. BlueJeans

Those lights are fine.

The-Game

So did you get it back yet or whats the story? Have to get it taxed and then pay them for storing it overnight??

little-coconut

yeah, i have to pick it up tomorrow and pay them 135 for storing it.. and either get it towed to my gaf and park it up until its taxed or else get it taxed and then pick it up. load of money, stress and annoyance!!

The-Game

Harsh hitting the wallet with that! Best bet would be jump online now and tax it for 3 months even? print out your confirmation page and show them when you get to the station then you can drive it out of there!!

little-coconut

problem is.. you cant back tax it online if its over due i dont think, ill probably have to go into nutgrove or something!!

Rev. BlueJeans

No, you can't pay arrears online afaik.

I agree with this too. @Midnight, generally you have a month to get it taxed

You can, I done it, it says on the letter you cant but when you log in it'll tell you how much you owe.

I Wouldnt fancy hitting nutgrove tax office in the morning though, enjoy that !!!

little-coconut

yeah - ill suss it out first thing tomorrow. i have to go to kellys recovery garage out in kilmac tomorrow, what a trek. haha i certainly wont step out of line again.. mind you.. my nct is out 6 months also, but she said nothin about that haha
